Release Body: About a year ago no doctor would believe that it was
possible, but today it is becoming a mainstream procedure. Inpatient
& Outpatient Clinics such as Hospitals, Emergency Rooms, Nursing
& Elderly Homes, General & Specialty Practitioners are joining
Ophthalmologists and Optometrists with Unique Non-Invasive
Test for Glaucoma.
BiCOM
Inc. and its unique, FDA approved Tonometer Diaton
now make it possible to safely and easily screen for Glaucoma
through the EYELID with no contact with the Cornea using
a small hand-held device and without the use of Anesthetic drops.
According
to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, one in
three Americans will suffer some form of age-related eye disease
by age 65, one in two by age 80, but unfortunately few individuals
are concerned with or even aware of their risk factors including
their family history, ethnicity, undiagnosed diabetes and glaucoma.
By
2020, 43 million Americans will suffer significant vision loss or
even blindness, the Academy predicts. Aside from protecting the
eyes from accidents, early detection and treatment of vision-threatening
problems is the Key to protecting one's sight and quality of life
for later years.
Because
eye disease in most cases advances without pain or symptoms, warning
signs may go undiagnosed until someone can't read their morning
paper, drive to the store, visit their doctor, or see the digits
on their telephone. By having the eyes examined, especially for
persons over the age of 40 will provide an early enough detection
if glaucoma is indeed present.
Glaucoma
is treatable, especially the acute form, and even if that is present,
proper immediate treatment will restore normal vision. In chronic
glaucoma, early detection is the only known cure at this time. Mr.
Iospa, CEO of BiCOM Inc., has pointed out, "With
the introduction of our unique tonometer Diaton,
we're proud to challenge Glaucoma, a 'silent thief of sight', that
carries an ever increasing threat of causing blindness as the aging
population is growing in the U.S. and abroad."
Mr.
Iospa added, "Medical doctors and Eye doctors must communicate.
Adding this simple and safe procedure by using Diaton tonometer
[Proactive Test for Glaucoma] would make the distance disappear,
hopefully in time to save the patients eyesight…"
Eye
doctors should also be ready to assist their colleagues in medicine
with answers on Glaucoma and other eye related conditions, as well
as being able to provide adequate care for the newly referred patients.
